Metropolitan areas in Ireland

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced stub list, which cites no sources for the population figures, and no (most crucially) no sources for the notion of "metropolitan areas" in Ireland, which appears to be original research. If at some future date someone finds references in reliable sources which define the novel concept of "metropolitan areas in Ireland", and which cite population figures in reliable sources, then it might be worth recreating something like this article, IF notability can be established. But this stubby list is a misleading piece of original resaerch Gnevin (talk) 22:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why has this been brought to AFD when there is an uncontested PROD on it? -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete Since the proposed deletion was put in on March 28, and nobody removed it, I think she's right, you don't have to bring it to AfD. Even if it was contested, the big problem is defining "metropolitan area", which usually goes beyond the chief city's limits.  Mandsford (talk) 01:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Just as good as similar articles for others--there just are fewer of them in Ireland. apppropriate summary list. DGG (talk) 14:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment (or question) Re: then it might be worth recreating something like this article, IF notability can be established. Notability? Established? What's this got to do with notability or not. If the problem is original research/no reliable sources, I don't see how "notability" plays a role. Heh. Neal (talk) 00:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC).
